Curious Artila runequester Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Cheers friends. I have been tempted to grab a G4 laptop off ebay since there's usually a bunch floating around, I'm a bit of a collector of computer stuff and honestly, I always wanted one. Now, I'd like to be able to DO something on the system and playing old-school RPG's seems like a great option for a little hobby machine. So assuming its updated to the last OS version available on powerPC, which Spiderweb games would play on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 One way or another you should still be able to play the Exile games and Blades whether the original version or an update. The Avernum series, both trilogies, so games 1 to 6 worked on my G4. All the Geneforge games, so 1 to 5. Both Nethergate versions, original and resurrection. From the website, Avadon and Avernum remakes won't work on less than OS 10.6. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila runequester Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Nice, that's approximately a trillion hours of gaming right there. From what I understand, the GOG versions will be intel only right? I suppose Jeff will make more money off direct sales in any event.

Curious Artila runequester Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Thank you so much guys. Alright, I'll pursue this in a bit and then just get the games directly from the Spiderweb website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila runequester Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Well, a (seemingly) nice condition G4 is on its way, courtesy of some dude on ebay. Assuming "some dude on ebay" didn't lie about the condition, tomorrow is S-Day with Avernum 1 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila runequester Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Well, today WOULD have been S-day, except Fedex didn't deliver the package but insists they did. Rats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Good luck with FedEx. I had them throw a package under a bush and once just drop it off instead of knocking on the door when I was home all day. Delivery services will claim that they delivered even if to the wrong address and their truck was parked facing the street sign that would have told them it was the wrong street.

Curious Artila runequester Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Yah, I specifically stayed home today to receive it, and I never even heard a knock. Fedex opened a case to try and track it down, so we'll see what happens with that. I have a feeling they delivered it to the wrong address and I'm out of the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Obviously your primary goal should be to play G4 on your G4. Bearfax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
